i was thinking that $(quote) might do some more intelligent handling, e.g.:
a) if the value contains ' characters, quote it with " chars.
b) if the value contains " chars, quote it with '
c) if the value contains both, quote it with " and backslash-escape
any " literals in the value.
That said, i don't think it would be useful terribly often.
